Held since January 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. At 103 m² the property is well over the postcode median (78 m² across 7 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. It lags the bulk of the postcode on energy efficiency (less efficient than 71% of similar EPCs). Across 1998–2009, sale prices on this property compounded at 8.9% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £124,000 is 37.8% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£81/sq ft) was about 15.7% below the postcode norm.
